    Oasis tell fans “there will now be a pause for a period of reflection” as reunion tour ends

    Oasis tell fans "there will now be a pause for a period of reflection" as reunion tour ends

    Oasis have announced a “pause” as they reflect on their huge ‘Live ‘25’ reunion tour, which ended in Brazil last night (November 24).

    The band’s 41-date tour began in Cardiff on July 4 and saw them take in five homecoming shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park, seven at Wembley Stadium in London, and gigs across the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.

    On Instagram this evening, they wrote, “And so it came to pass. ‘The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history’ found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation.

    “From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City Of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten.

    “There will now be a pause for a period of reflection,” they finished, signing off simply as Oasis.

    At last night’s show, the second of two dates at MorumBIS in São Paulo, the band stuck to the same setlist they played at each of the 41 dates on the tour. Meanwhile, fans haved shared the heartwarming moment when frontman Liam Gallagher handed brother Noel his tambourine and maracas before they hugged to round off the tour on social media.

    Despite the pair’s sometimes fractious relationship – which saw the band break up in 2009 shortly before they were set to play a headline set at Rock en Seine in France – they’ve frequently embraced each other and shared jokes on stage throughout the tour, walking on stage hand-in-hand in Cardiff in July to kick off the tour.

    Meanwhile, rhythm guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, who joined back up with Oasis for their South American dates after taking a break from touring to continue his prostate cancer treatment, reflected on 2025 as “the best year of my life” on Instagram this morning.

    Bassist Andy Bell also posted on Instagram, writing “THANK YOU ALL” alongside a heart emoji.

    Rumours of more tour dates next year, as well as potential new music, have been rife in recent months. Earlier this month, Liam teased more shows on X (Twitter), writing, “I know things you don’t know” to a fan who asked him if he was sad the tour would be ending soon.

    And, at the last Wembley show of their comeback run in September, he told fans “See you next year” before jokingly slapping himself on the wrist.

    He later said that this comment led to “a few tuts and raised eyebrows,” when a fan asked him directly about it on X.

    In October, a British peer seemed to accidentally reveal that Oasis would be playing Knebworth next summer – in what would mark 30 years since the band’s famous shows at the Hertfordshire stately home – before backtracking on her claims.

    Lady Taylor of Stevenage stood up in the House of Lords on October 22 and said, via The Guardian, “Next July, I have the benefit of five days of Oasis concerts in the fantastic venue of Knebworth House, which is just about a mile from my house.”

    She then told the broadsheet: “I was speaking hypothetically following speculation that they would play Knebworth again as they did in August 1996. I understand the band have not confirmed this.”

    And at last night’s show, Liam told the crowd the band will “see you again sometime”. Before launching into their closing song, ‘Champagne Supernova’, he said: “We love you, thanks for all your energy. Take care of yourselves and we’ll see you again sometime.”
